Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11B

“Utilizing financial records approved by the treasurer, the articulate foundation president works with an independent accountant to complete a draft 990 that is submitted to the full board for review prior to filing.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C

“The articulate foundation's (taf) conflicts of interest policy establishes a) procedures for the disclosure of financial interests by each director and principal officer, and b) procedures by which the governing board addresses any such disclosures. Each director and principal officer must annually sign a statement affirming receipt of the policy and the agreement to comply. The policy outlines the duty of disclosure, steps for determining if a conflict of interest exists, procedures for addressing a potential conflict of interest, and guidelines for the written documentation of these activities. The policy also calls for the periodic review of partnerships, joint ventures, and other financial relationships, as well as taf's compensation/benefits arrangements, to ensure conformity to taf's written policies.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15A

“The articulate foundation board makes periodic review of compensation arrangements and benefits to determine if they are reasonable, based on competent local and field-wide survey information, and the result of arms length bargaining.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“Governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements are available upon request.”

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“Gaap requires entities to evaluate, recognize and disclose any uncertain tax positions. Gaap prescribes a minimum threshold that a tax position is required to meet in order to be recognized in the financial statements. The foundation believes that it had no uncertain tax positions as defined in gaap.”
